Orly - Enchanted Forest

I have a lovely green polish for you to look at today, Enchanted Forest. This is one of the polishes from the 'Once Upon A Time' collection Orly released in 2009. The bottles came with cute charms, but I got my bottle without one *cries*. I know, I know.. it's just a charm, right? At least the bottle cap has some silver glitter (fairy dust?) on it. :O Enchanted Forest is a dark green creme. It's slightly dusty and a little bit more blue toned than yellow toned. I must say I like my greens to be more on the blue side, so this one is just fabulous. Love it.

The application was ok. The first coat was awfully streaky, but with two more coats and a topcoat it was perfect.

Thanks for watching! And to all my new followers: welcome! *waves* :D

Models Own - Purple Ash

Today I have a Models Own polish for you, Purple Ash, which I bought as a part of the 'Autumn/Winter Collection'-set (it's the 3rd one from the right). The lovely Ulmiel asked for a swatch and a comparison with other polishes, well, it's all here, enjoy! :O

Purple Ash is a muted red toned purple creme, but describing it as a dark dusty rose seems fitting too. It looks like Models Own also put a drop of brown in it.. It's a gorgeous, unique colour. I have nothing like it! The application was very good, it was opaque in two coats. I also used a topcoat.

I was searching through my stash for polishes that are close to Purple Ash and these are the ones I found (I told you I had nothing like it, lol). As you can see Purple Ash is more red toned than the other two, but I think they dó look nice next to each other, don't they? :) I totally forgot I had P2 Gracious, it's so pretty with its subtle shimmer (which isn't visible in this picture). I should definitely make a special post on that one! And China Glaze's Channelesque... well, it's Channelesque. :L (I just noticed I misspelled it in the picture, #fail).

Thanks for watching!
